The EQA Project
The Premier EverQuest Emulated Progression Server Experience
Join a dedicated community of EverQuest veterans in Norrath's most authentic and feature-rich emulation server. Experience classic EverQuest the way it was meant to be played.
What Makes EQA Different?
Experience EverQuest with modern conveniences and classic gameplay
Free Trade Rules
Firiona Vie-style free trade means almost all items are tradeable! Build your character the way you want with unprecedented flexibility.
Legacy Items Preserved
Legacy item drops remain in game permanently at adjusted rarity. Your favorite items never get nerfed or removed!
Raids Tuned for Smaller Teams
Raid targets are tuned for smaller teams. We schedule open raids throughout each week in Discord.
Advanced Web Tools
Comprehensive character viewer, global inventory search, self-service transfers, and detailed database queries - all at your fingertips!
Optional Client Mods
EQA allows use of Zeal - a QoL tool for the legacy 2002-era client used by TAKP EQEmu players.
Character Transfers
New players can transfer up to three characters from other servers.
Group Experience Bonus
Experience bonuses for 4th, 5th, and 6th group members encourage social gameplay and group formation.
Keyrings Enabled
Keyrings are available from launch with custom settings. No more juggling keys - even Plane of Sky keys go straight to your keyring!
Server-Wide Channels
/ooc and /auction work across all zones, keeping the community connected no matter where your adventures take you.
Progression from Classic to Modern Era Expansions
Experience the evolution of EverQuest as we progress through each expansion
New expansions unlock approximately 6 months after all raid targets are defeated
